A Spectrum View Of A Cable Cutting

Get out of town…that’s what the state’s Public Service Commish has said to Charter, which we know as Spectrum. I’m sure many of you are cheering over this, angry at crap service, rising rates, and other things that tickle the ivories of your discontent. Sounds good in theory, doesn’t it? Well, so did splitting Germany after World War I and look at what happened there. Let’s be real on this…first off, this is going to be a long legal battle where corporate lawyers on both sides get fat and our wallets continue to get thin paying those high rates…the chances of Spectrum bailing in 60 days are about as good as the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl…sorry about your luck, Dallas fans. Even if they bailed, who’s going to replace them? Is there a cable company on the planet that people DON’T complain about? I think not. You’ve also gotta think about your friends and neighbors that work for them…do they get new jobs, or do they get tossed out like those contest mailers you get from Publisher’s Clearing House? Sure, it would be ideal if we finally got the a la carte service we want, where we pay for what we want, when we want it…but seriously, the technology to do that is there and nobody’s going to put it in place because they’ve got you by the short hairs already with premium tiers, bundles, and other stuff…why mess with it? One thing I know for sure: I just got MAV TV, and if changing companies means that I lose it, you’re gonna hear me screaming all the way out in Albany, so be ready.
